no that is a 3-0-8 it is 30 caliber a 223 is 5.56 mm it is 22.3 caliber
Yes there is a difference. They are physically the same size casing, but the 556 military rounds' chamber pressure is ~10,000 psi higher then 223. Military rifles generally have chambers with a different throat configuration than normal sport 223 rifles. This being said, I would not recommend shooting 556 unless your rifle was designed for the higher pressures.
The factors of 223 are: 1, 223
223
223 and 1
It depends on what you mean. Strictly speaking, a .223 cartridge has a .22 caliber bullet, but when people say .22, they are usually referring to .22 Short, Long Rifle, or Magnum cartridge, which is different than .223.

In terms of power, or diameter? A .22 has a bullet diameter of .223 inches, the same as the .223 Remington and 5.56 military cartridge. The .222 Remington actually has a bullet diameter of .224 inches.
In general, no. The .22 LR is a straight sided rimfire cartridge 1 inch long. The .223 is a bottlenecked centerfire cartridge almost 3 inches long. Totally different. The 22 LR CAN be shot in a .223 by the use of a special adapter.
It depends on what you mean. A .22 caliber gun is a gun that will fire a .22 caliber cartridge. If you want an example of a .22 caliber gun, one example would be a Smith and Wesson model 17. this is true but u must remember that when describing a caliber u are talking about the diameter of the round . for example the .22 long rifle is the same diameter as the 5.56 that the m4 shoots . if the round is refer ed to as the .22 it will most likely be rim fire as other .22 like 5.7,5.56,and.223 will be center fire
The AR 15 is a rifle, not a caliber. the .223 is a caliber. Usually the AR-15 is made in caliber .223.
5.56mm by 45mm long. This is similar to, but not the same as .223
Yes, they do shoot the same projectile although the 22-250 takes a heavier charge of the same powder over the .223.
